You are exactly correct. BP have already been paying them for the losses on the spot as they turn in the cancellations papers with the total amount that they were charging customers for either 1 guided trip for however many, or the whole kit and kaboodle with lodging and all. One of the guys said that BP is being extreamly fair to them and cutting the checks to the corporation on the spot.
They think that BP is doing this with them because they have everything documented and NO Lawyer is involved. The Lawyer for BP that cuts them the checks told them BP is being careful about paying people because EVERYONE has Lawyers and they are asking for ridiculas amounts of money for things like emotional distress from people that live as far north as Baton Rouge that doesnt even have property on or near the coast.
